I rarely read pure romance novels as I can't tolerate the three paragraph scenes of a couple meeting and then jumping in bed, condom included in the more politically correct books. They seem like so much drivel to me. So I'm happy to say that the Summer Hideaway was a delightful read involving a soldier fresh home from Afghanistan, his dying grandfather and the home health nurse who is caring for the grandfather. As a nurse myself, I'm always on the alert for any real breaches of nursing knowledge whenever an author is portraying a nurse, and other than the fact that a full time, one-on-one nursing job at a resort would be incredibly hard job to find, Claire Tucker carried out her nursing duties like a nurse and showed herself to be knowledgeable about her patient's condition.
This is a book about hellos and goodbyes as a family gathers round to tell their father and grandfather goodbye while his last thoughts are how to get his grandson fixed up with his nurse. The nurse herself has been in a witness protection program for years and is incredibly lonely and can't let people into her life to discover her secret. But in the end true love wins out as it only can in one of these books.
For those who like these types of romance novels, this was a delightful read and assumes the reader has at least a high school reading comprehension. The story was entertaining and had some nice features, especially the polio story.
